ETA: This post was written yesterday, but I forgot to publish it! D'oh!

Do you remember where you were 30 years ago today (for those over you old enough to remember 30 years ago)? I do. Where was I? I was sitting in front of the TV at a ridiculously early hour to watch the royal wedding of Charles and Diana. Can you believe it's been 30 years?

Of course we all know how the story ended up, but in the beginning, it was a fairytale, complete with a beautiful maiden and a prince. What more could any little girl want?

Her dress was stunning by 1980's standards and watching that train go down the aisle made my heart skip a beat. When I got married, I insisted on the longest train possible because I still remembered watching Diana's train.

I love this photo. I think it was the first glimps we go of her face.

I'm pretty sure I sighed when this happened.

And who could forget the kiss?

This photo came out later and seems to romantic. They looked so happy.

While it didn't end that way anyone expected, it started off in a way that blew everyone away. It was beautiful and romantic and will always be "the" royal wedding.
